New Moon in Scorpio

  Well I'm several days late on this post, I blame the busy times and Halloween! But that is no excuse, I've been thinking about it since last Wednesday, October 26th when the new moon occurred at 4 degrees in Scorpio.
   For me this fell in my 2nd house, which is the Prosperity/Abundance Gua. I was also a few days late on doing some proper prep and dedication, but I read in my astrology magazine that you have a good 2 weeks after the new moon to put new things in action. So I cleaned my office nice and shiny on Saturday and since have begun really working on defining some of the career aspirations that were probably also motivated by the prior new moon.
   In the 13 moon calendar, this month (which started mid-October and continues to Nov 14th) is about asking " what form does our service takes in the world?" Scorpio is a sign of deep water and so I am starting to dive deeper than I ever have into the definitions of how my service can be shared into the world, and also how I can attain my own prosperity from that!
   As a final note to this post, I'm just going to add that starting with the full moon in Libra, I will try to document progress made in a gua or sign when the dedication I set out at the new moon comes to completion with the full moon in the same sign.

New Moon in Libra

   Here is the first installation of my feng shui of astrology blogging :) Please visit my Feng Shui of Astrology page for more info!
    With the new moon at 4 degrees Libra as of 5:09am (MDT) today, I prepared yesterday by finding 4 degrees Libra in my chart. For me this falls in my first house.  The first house in astrology corresponds to the Career/Life Path bagua in Feng Shui and the color Black. The way I determined which areas of my house to clean up and prepare to welcome some fresh energy, in order to align with this new moon, were several-fold.
    First I made a list of each room in my house, including the entrances, such as Front Door, Living Room, Dining Room, etc. There are a couple of schools of thought in feng shui, one where the Career/Life Path bagua is the front entrance (to a house/room, etc) and the other is by direction, where that bagua is in the North. I'm not sure which school of thought I ascribe to, so I decided to go with both of them.
    Next I made a list of all the areas that would correspond to this bagua from all the angles.  And because I apparently like to complicate matters, I also added another configuration where I considered my back door the 'front entrance' because I use it to leave/enter my house more than the front door.
    After associating all the areas of my house with different baguas, my First House - Career/Life Path bagua consists of these focus areas: Front door, Back door, Master Bedroom and the Stairs (in the north).
    For my new moon ritual, I cleaned the front and back doors, as well as the separate door to my garage, and cleaned all of the clutter out of the front door area. To finish up this week I am going to re-paint the outside of the entrances since the paint has chipped and is weathered a bit since I moved in (6 years ago).
    I guess it is no surprise that I am spending so much time updating my blog either, since it relates to my 'life path' which I'd like to someday turn into my career ;)
